If the oil and coolant are both full, then I would check the electrical connections. It may be a sensor. There is a sensor that goes into the radiator. Check to see if it might be corroded or a wire may be broken. If nothing is visible, then I would take it to a shop and have them connect to the ECM. It should not cost much and usually only takes a few minutes to connect to the truck computer. An illuminated engine light is something that needs immediate attention.

Hi GMAN long time no seeing u on here my self..
OP I was going to say Red Light Beeping get to a shop or beprepaird to get towed. It your truck saying it is sick -
If it will not move under its own power, you will have to have it towed to a shop to get checked out. My friend has a newer 660 that shut itself down, towed it ti a shop and found out his ecm needed to be replaced. Bad news!!

Ok. Thanks for the help everyone. New found info as follows. When I push service brake valve in engine light goes off but beeping remains. Also, one air pressure establishes 100+ psi beeping goes away. Holy banchees batman. Wrf is that about? Lol
-
Sounds to me that you are seeing a low air pressure light and not the check engine or stop engine light. Are you new to this truck? One gauge may be at 100 psi but the other one may be below 60. Once both air pressure gauges read above 60 psi the low air buzzer/alarm will stop.
otherhalftw Thanks this. -
It is good to hear from you, coastie. How have you been doing? -
Ty for the response but the low air lights are on each gauge individually. The light is absolutely the engine light(red).
-
The only way that you will know for sure is if you take it to a shop and have it connected to a computer
-
If it turns out to be a ECM going bad anyone know how much they are approximately.
